High School Dress Code: 2020-2021

HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODE: 2020-2021

Students are expected to follow the uniform dress code policy at all times during regular school hours and as designated for special events. From time to time, the administration at their discretion may elect to observe “special” days where uniforms are not required. Unless notified of a “special” non-uniform day, students shall be dressed appropriately.

In our attempt to establish a unified community, we are asking ALL students to adhere to these policies. If infractions/ violations occur, please see the Uniform Infraction/Violation section of the dress co.

All uniforms are to be ordered through Lands’ End via the school catalog or online at www.landsend.com/uniforms. No substitutions will be permitted. When ordering from Lands’ End, PLEASE provide our preferred school number and logo number. (These can be located on the mailing label of your current catalog and in the next paragraph.) As a “preferred school”, Lands’ End will rebate 3% of total sales to Cross Schools. Scrip cards may also be used to place Land’s End orders.

Lands’ End will accept orders throughout the school year; therefore, it is not necessary to order all clothing items at once. However, items are often placed on back-order which will delay your order. Do not wait until the first cool weather to order sweaters, jackets and long sleeve shirts. Accessories are not required to be ordered through Lands’ End.

Used Uniforms Gently worn uniform clothing may be purchased at reduced prices through the school store. Only clothing items that are clean and in excellent condition are accepted for resale in this program.

General Appearance General appearance should be neat, modest and orderly at all times. Shirttails must be tucked in, socks must be worn with shoes, shoe laces tied and hair should be kept neat and clean. Boys’ hair must be above the earlobes on the sides, above the collar in the back, and above the eyebrows in the front. Hair accessories for girls must be minimal and should keep hair out of the eyes.

All necklaces must be complimentary to the dress code (for example, pearls or simple and understated with small charms). No visible body piercing (excluding earrings for girls). Tattoos must not be visible while wearing any of the school uniforms. Hats are not permitted inside the building, unless designated for a special occasion.

Outerwear While outside, girls and boys are permitted to wear jackets and coats of their choice, as long as the jacket and/or coat is neat and simple (free from excessive logos, pictures, etc.). Lands’ End sells fleece jackets that are available in red with logo. This year there are two NEW ADDITIONS--packable rain jackets in navy with logo and ThermoPlume jackets in navy with logo. These jackets not required. While indoors, students may wear any outerwear (jacket, fleece, hoodie, etc) that has the Cross logo and is of school colors. All other outerwear is to be worn only while outside. Uniform items with logo should be worn underneath all outerwear. Red fleece jacket or blue zip-up, with name on the back, are the only outerwear pieces that may be worn on chapel days.

Revisions and/or changes may be made, as necessary, throughout the year for the well-being of the entire school community. School parents’ support of this policy is of the utmost importance, and all families are asked to monitor their students’ uniform attire on a daily basis.

School administrators have the final responsibility for interpretation and enforcement of dress code should any anomaly exist.
